Micro SD cards

Im currently shopping for a 16GB but not sure if I should shell out the extra dough for the "Ultra" which has a higher minimum read/write speed. What do you use?

If the difference is only a couple bucks get the faster one. But I too just get whatever is cheapest.

Faster may be good if you are taking a lot of video.

^^^^^^

Yes... If it's video, then the ultras are needed. But considering it's a cell phone, the video quality likely does not require a class 4 or higher SD card.

FWIW, I just bought a HD camcorder, shoots in 1920x1080, that requires class 4 or higher, which is the ultra II stuff you're referring to.

Save your money.

What size SD card do you need to get 30 or 60 minutes of record time on that camcorder?
